Synopsis

We're all pretty nice people, right? It's just that occasionally we're tempted to gossip or indulge in a little justified road rage . . . or snap at our spouse . . . maybe scream at our kids . . . I mean, if everyone else would get with the program, we wouldn't be this way!

But maybe the trouble isn't with all those other people who aggravate us. Maybe we're the problem—specifically, the way we react to inconveniences, accidents, and just plain old everyday life with negative words, thoughts, and actions. Because the truth is, when we stop focusing on how we're being affected and start responding in kind ways, that's when something remarkable happens: we actually feel happier ourselves.

With humor, compassion, and encouragement, Nicole Phillips draws on scientific research and real-life examples to help us recognize unhelpful negative thought patterns, show kindness toward others even when we don't feel like it, and discover how one little change actually changes everything.

This book is definitely very needed in today's current events and the way society deals with things. I have always taught my former students and now my children that being kind trumps everything e......more

Goodreads review by Kristie

I feel like Nicole has written something that we all need to read right now. 2020 has been an interesting and different year to say the least, a pandemic and a presidential election, heaped upon top of our normal daily lives, which turned into not being quite so normal. All of that builds up and cau......more
